RDC Community Reading Circle: One Drum
Feb 26, 2025 — 11:30 a.m. to 12:50 p.m.
This February, the RDC Reading Circle will delve into One Drum, by the late Richard Wagamese, Ojibwe Canadian author and journalist from the Wabaseemoong Independent Nations in Northwestern Ontario.
One Drum welcomes readers to unite in ceremony to heal themselves and bring harmony to their lives and communities.
About the book
One Drum draws from the foundational teachings of Ojibway tradition, the Grandfather Teachings. Focusing specifically on the lessons of humility, respect and courage, the volume contains simple ceremonies that anyone anywhere can do, alone or in a group, to foster harmony and connection. Wagamese believed that there is a shaman in each of us, and we are all teachers and in the world of the spirit there is no right way or wrong way.
Copies of the book are available at the Morisset and the Brian Dickson libraries, on campus, or at the Ottawa Public Library.
If you’d like to purchase a physical copy, we encourage you to consider supporting a local bookseller.
